Not quite parcels of land ... Not even parcels of free time, well sort of... Imagine it, for those wishing for more time away from the restraints of a job ... Technocratic lassoo bills are often still to be paid! But if life was rearranged around a 'free' (?) monthly deposit of $2500 ... How much more time would you have?

I guess you would still have to be paying something by way of taxes, but the Swiss are so good at that anyway ... It could also just be a rich country's easy ploy to ensure money keeps circulating. Is it a smokescreen? I would still just rather have my hectare thank you very much! ??? X

"The economy now is a fiction.

The first five-year stretch of transition from August 1987 to August 1992 was the beginning of the destruction of the material world. We have progressed ten years deeper into the transition phase by now, and many of the so-called sources of financial stability are in fact hollow. The banks are weak. This is a delicate moment for them. They could crash globally, if we don't pay attention. Now, people are paying attention." http://www.seri-worldwide.org/id435.html

True ownership of land, by documentation or by love? Setting up our communities of love.

I just finished book #7 "The Energy of Life" and I do certainly feel that energy, combined with the hope and dream of making my space of love a reality.

 I am also frustrated because of the lack of funds necessary to purchase a piece of land. I actually am having a much larger vision of getting a 150 hectare piece of land here in the tropical paradise of Bahia, Brazil. So much land here remains unused and seemingly appears to be "unowned" I want so much to create an opportunity for Brothers and Sisters to form a community of Families and Kinship Domains. I am receiving a grand vision, but am also painfully aware of my limited financial resources to realize that vision. It causes a great deal of conflict within my heart. Oh I wish that we didn't have to make this painful transition. 

Land, Our Mother Earth should be held in common. How absurd is it, that someone can own a part of Mother Earth. Nomadic indigenous peoples only had to find a place and start to settle and work in harmony with the land, until someone came along and said, "This is my land because I say so and claim it for my own, if you want to continue to live here you must pay me, then I will give you a piece of paper saying that it is your land, but you will still have to pay me property taxes annually, because even though the paper says it's your land, it really still is mine, because I said so! If you don't pay me, I will take the land away from you and sell it to another so they can have the privilage of holding the paper of ownership and paying annual taxes to me!"

GRRRR. I feel so upset and at the same time saddened that we as mankind should find ourselves in this situation, which in all actuality, we have created for ourselves. In the same sense, we as mankind must come to a point of consciousness to simply eliminate the concept of land ownership. Yet, "ownership" is what Anastasia describes when we "acquire" a hectare of land and delineate it from others by a fence, natural or not, and have the right to pass it on to descendant generations. and so the concept of ownership of land along with it's trappings remains. I am sure that Anastasia doesn't have a piece of paper that says she owns her glade in the forest, but it seems that the universal forces and God (blue energy sphere) come out to defend that glade and Anastasia when threatened. Which I interpret as an "ownership of Love" rather than actual "holding ownership" of land as most of us know it.

I would be most interested in any feedback from others along these lines, especially in terms of setting up a 150 hectare community.

Ownership, what does it mean?? How can we "own" our hectares of land without the concept of actually owning a piece of our mother earth? How should it be set up? How will such a community of kinship's be viewed by the "authorities" or those who hold documents attesting to the ownership of land? How shall we transition to a true ownership of our kinships of love, by love, so that we too will be protected from those who would "take" what is not theirs to take, by God and the cosmic forces of the universe?

OK, thank you for the info Billa!

Hi Micelte, when you email for the information  you will get insight into a structure  that is quite a paradigm shift from what we have been given as limitations by the existing system.. it is operating on most continents and because it is in harmony with divine law, is actually quite a simple thing.    My aim in life is always to be and remain a free spirit, with nothing Lording over me, a "private" foundation achieves this as far as having some kind of legal structure/ container to operate from..

IT is however private so please make no reference to it's name  specifically - here in public..    

 

Thanks Billa

Hey Billa, regarding the email address you sent about Foundations: is this organization for Australia only? Could it help wherever we are in the world? My understanding of Foundations is that they are tightly linked to a particular place/country and usually must be accredited of "public utility". I'd be very interested in knowing how to receive donations, through, or not through, a Foundation. It's actually not as easy as it could seem...

Food sovereignty: every civilization has the right to chose what to eat and how - This should become a lesson for all areas of social interaction: religion, costumes and so on. Cultivating freedom, solidarity, clean energy, biodiversity at the expense of pollution and industrial production is a way to design a new path towards transformation.

We need to re-build reciprocity

A new form of exchange – neither purchase nor charity – is needed to build commercial, and human, relationship. This is what is happening for instance with the CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) in the US: you pay the farmer in advance with a fair price and you know you’ll get your produce when the season comes.

Let’s give work its value

Reconciling work and pleasure needs to be a priority; we need to get satisfaction from our work and have time to enjoy ourselves.

Let’s stop being just consumers – let’s become co-producers

Our choices are essential to a new world; Petrini quotes the intellectual farmer Wendell Berry and enthusiastically reminds us that “eating is the first agricultural act”: with what we eat we influence the market, and if we chose to pay a fair price to the farmer that does not put pesticides on his or her produce we give our vote to a cleaner and healthier world.

I'm taking this to the blogatorium. I'm gorged. Last thread I followed unravelled the whole lot!
